The tenet of the topic is Time to go Goody with a question mark. To me that is asking a question. You & others think he should & others think he shouldn’t. So we are all answering the question with our opinions. Maybe if you didn’t constantly allude to the fact that anyone positive is either a “Happy Clapper” or a misguide fool we could have had a more balanced discussion.. ?

Upheld

Plus we re/sign arguably one of the best young players for 9 years ..says something about our club

Yep ..there is ..we are getting better..the players are adapting to the game plan & as they do ..everyone & everything improves. Far from a finished product but the players were up & about on Sunday .. connected with each other & the coach. You’ve gone so far down the rabbit hole of negativity that you refuse to acknowledge any positives. Maybe stay of this topic… plenty of other topics you can vent your nonsense..

So you aren’t prepared to see the obvious improvements in our game plan come to fruition in 2026 & then judge Goody? But you’d be happy to see a new coach come in ..with new ideas ..new assistant coaches & then have to build a relationship with the playing list (who by the way are 100%behind our coach ) and basically we start again..not sure of the logic behind that. I’d say out of the 9 games played on the weekend ..way less than half were of great quality for 4 quarters . It was a very good win in the end.

Fantastic ..,guess we won’t be reading you in 2026

Carlton players to lift for Voss after that disgusting “murder slur” which ..”surprise ..surprise” was by a Collingwood member.

We could talk “ad nauseum “ about the inequalities of the AFL. It’s a bit like society..the rich get richer ..the poor get poorer and the middle class cops it. I am still passionate about the MFC but I have lost passion for AFL in general …

😂

In all seriousness…in footy and even in life ..you plan …you train and it all looks pretty good. Then comes the intangibles which you can’t control …key injuries at the wrong time ..players just simply out of form …& to quote Goody simply trying to meld the old & young with a new game plan. I’m totally disappointed with the season because I reckon if one of Trac or Clarry had played to their potential & if one of May or Lever didn’t get injured ,.I firmly believe that would have been enough to make the 8 but I had no illusions that we would go deep, I have seen enough of our game plan to see an exciting 2026 going forward. What is irrefutable is that Goody has the players back & they have Goody’s back. Put me in the “hand clapping majority”.. I don’t really care. I truly believe Goody will be coach next year.

What you fail to understand is that “true” supporters also like to look for positives & hope. That does not mean we don’t get bitterly disappointed when we lose or we don’t question the coaches but you seem to think your analysis of a “true” supporter means you must show negativity and blame. Goody will be coach next season and who knows how many pages this embarrassing thread will be up to by seasons end ..guess it just makes you feel better and “cranky”.

In all fairness..you must give Trac & Oliver a full preseason before writing them off. I don’t need to mention the issues last year for Trac & a couple of years for Clarry. I think you forget that May snapped his plantar ..it’s not healed ..he would play under enormous duress which is why he’s inconsistent. He’s written off by many one week & then brings it on the weekend. You only have to listen to Turner to see who he credits for his development. Viney had a pretty serious rib injury ..then concussion but his last couple of games have been pretty good. Max ..no more needs to be said. Salo does his job as does Langdon. I’m pretty confident they’ll hold up …def for next year & I also think Melky will be good to go for 1 more ..

Agreed ..they have played 1 top 8 team since Rnd 11 ..they travel 7 times & I think 3 of those were at Marvel ..they have the most protected midfielder in the AFL. The next few weeks will be interesting . There has been more comment from Oppo coaches alluding to the favourable run Collingwood gets..(games at home .. umpiring etc) …I’ll reserve my judgement after the next few weeks ..my only concern is in a tight one ..they always get the 50/50 decisions .

In the interview Brad Green gave, he intimated we had a good senior group of players ..an up & coming very good group of younger players but maybe we were missing the 26 yr plus players. This is the age group that the Pies have topped up with …

Brad Green on a very good interview with The Deebrief was very positive about Caulfield and dismissive of The Age article re funding etc. “I shake my head & wonder where they get their info from”. (Paraphrasing). It was an informative..balanced & positive interview . All our resident doomsayers will cast aspersions but it’s worth a listen.
